  • ¼ cup minced fresh basil

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

  • One large ear of corn makes about 1 cup of cut corn.
  • Try cilantro instead of basil. Add chopped green or red peppers or zucchini.
  • Serve this salad as a side dish or use as a filling for tacos, burritos or wraps.
  • No basil? Try chopped cilantro.
